THIS THAT is poised to be the next big thing for Newcastle; today announcing a stellar line-up to match an already innovative festival idea that's ricocheting throughout the city and surrounds. THIS STAGE & THAT STAGE will host a 16-strong collective of unparalleled artists alongside a hand picked array of primo eats, plus craft beers and other delectable beverages.

It’s a festival for the discerning music fan, the foodie fiend and the fancy beverage baller. It’s THIS THAT and THE OTHER, a locally curated, boutique market across a whole day in the sunshine at Newcastle’s iconic beachside Foreshore greenspace.

Music is best served with a dose of tasty food. THIS THAT embraces the Aussie foodie revolution and brings it to the masses. Culinary delights are carefully constructed by local niche restaurants and the best of Sydney’s internationally renowned food trucks make the trek north for the occasion.
